A CRISIS IN FRANCE.
The French Cabinets Budget Pro-
 posals Rejected, and It Resigns.

The debate on the report of the Budget Committee, which demands a reduction in the estimates submitted by the Government, was begun in the Chamber of Deputies. NJ. Dau- phin, Minister of Finance, declared that in their proposals the Government had effected all tho retrenchments that were possible and had re-established the financial equilibrium through the income and alcoholic taxes.
 Premier Goblet said the present financial situa tion was the result of the accumulated errors of past governments. He wss ready to work with the committee with the view of providing eficacious remedies. The Govern ment desired to balance the budget, even by fresh taxation if necessary. He reproached the committee with demanding reforms which it knew to be impracticablo from budget point of view.
 The Chamber, by a vote of 275 to 259, re- jec ed the proposal of the Government and proceeded to discuss tho order of the day. M. Goblet then announced that the Cabinet would resign. AS soon as the announcement had been made the members of the Cabinet left the House.

ANTI-COERCION AT LOWELL, A Speech by Gen. Butler-Praise for
 Parnell and Gladstone.

A big anti-coercion meeting was held at Lowell. Previous to the meeting there was an outdoor demonstration by twenty Catholic organizations with brass bands. Speeches were made by Lieut.. Brackett, the Rev. P. A. McKenna, John Boyle O'Reilly, General Butler and others. Resolutions were adopted vigorously protesting against the passage of the Coercion bill by Parliament, sympathizing with the Irish people, and praising the labors of Parnel and Gladstone. Gen. Butler con- menced his speech by reading from the first report of the Continental Congress in 1775, which was an address to the people of Ireland, recltins the oppression by England of the American colonies. He continued:
 "1here is the petition of the United Col onies to the Irishmen to come over here and the de- scendants of those so invited. Some of them are here before me. On occasions like this our forefathers looked forward almost with poroph- ecy. Thousands of Irishmen have become united with us in ties of consanguinity and affection. When the war came Ireland sent us Montgomery and other compatriots who fought in the Revolution.
 If war should come let us pay that class of debts first. God forbid that it should; but if 1t docs come may God defend the right. Blood is thicker than water Don't let me be under stood as wishing for war, but coercion of ma tions must end in war. All history shows that such acts always end i'll war, the great arbiter. One wrong succeeds another until the appeal to arms is all that is left and I think that a man had better be killed than to have his brethren starve to death."

New Foes of the Knights of Labor

New Foes of the Knights of Labor.
 The Missouri Synod, the principal convoca- States, concluded it's meeting at Fort Wayne by considering what should be the attitude of the Lutheran Church toward the Knights of Labor. The committee appointed last year reported that they were unable to come to final decision. They recognized that capital ists, in some instances, oppress the poor man, and they therefore see the necessity of resist ing such encroachments, but they do not ap- prove the means resorted to by the Knights of Labor in the battling against that oppression They condemn the boycott, denounce the practice of the Knights of Labor who pre- vent non-union men from taking the place If stikers, and the manner in which strikes are now conducted. After the report had been read the Synod resolved to warn the members of the German Lutheran Church against join- ing the Knights of Labor.
